Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Rules:

  1. No bigotry of any kind.
  2. No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
  3. No genocide denial

We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.

Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!

Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

Kropotkin's Conquest Of Bread

Selected works of Marx

They sent literal tens of thousands of paramilitaries to Syria who directly engaged in ethnic cleansing and sectarian massacres in support of the Assad regime, supported the Houthis who have engaged in ethnic cleansing and sectarian massacres, Iraqi militias which engaged in sectarian massacres and continue terrorist activities against the Iraqi government to this day, and Hezbollah which, surprise surprise, engaged in sectarian massacres.
